Kai Londo / Kailundu re-write notes:

Fyle, C. Magbaily (2006). Historical dictionary of Sierra Leone. The Scarecrow Press. pp. 82–83. ISBN 978-0-8108-5339-3.

c. 1845-1896 (Komalu, Luawa Chiefdom)
Father(?) was warrior Dowii Komei, to a family which owned much land around Kailahun.
During the 1880s, fought with Bumpe–Gao Chiefdom#Makavoray family, Ndawa, and the Benya family.
Took control over large areas traditionally belonging to the Kissi people and Gbandi people, expanding his and Ndawa's territory; he and Ndawa allied themselves after a dispute (what dispute) that Londo may have won
Was a friend of T. J. Alldridge, who described Londo as "a man of small statue but large intelligence... a chief who was never spoken of except in the highest terms." and described his name as a "password" in Mende lands due to "high opinion which [he is] convinced the masses generally entertain towards these chieftans." (pg 130, described along with Mendegla)
Created an ethnic Kissi state in the 1870s/1880s around Luawa. (pg xix) (a form of Mende state which Fyle charactized as based around a strong leader (Londo), and whose power could be directly tied to the individual in charge. (pg xxx)
Mende ruler Kabba Sei brokered a peace treaty between Londo and Mendegla
Allied with Kabba Sei in conflicts with Mbwalomeh, after Mbwalomeh conducted raids on Londo's lands and people. (pg 79-80)
Joined with Ndawa and won a dispute with the warrior Benya (from Blama) over Makavoray land. (pg 142-143) That campaign spurred on Londo's rise to prominence in the region, but Kai Londo believed that Ndawa had split the land and other winnings unevenly. The two fought (Kpove War???), with Ndawa theatening to attack Londo's base in Luawa. Londo won (??? how?), and the conflict ceased . (pg 143)

Copyright blocks

User talk:AidepikiwIV - blocked for edit warring a copyright image into an article; need to check if they (or socks) ever left userspace/added copyvio to mainspace

See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d - blocked for UPE and copyright issues, though it remains unclear how extensive the copyright issues were on enWiki.

User:Memevietnam98 - lots of copyright warnings, blocked for edit warring over copyrighted content ANI

User talk:Ajack87 - 2,165 edits, blocked by Diannaa in 2023 after multiple warnings for regular and CWW violations.

User:Mocha c jp - 678 edits. Might be able to manually clear this one myself

User talk:TheEagle107 - by Diannaa in 2023 after multiple warnings. Unblocked, so recent contributions should be clean

User:Soldier stories - only about 1k edits, blocked by Diannaa after about 10 warnings

There's a few possible outcomes to this. Ideally, people take a long look at the comments they've made, have a little think, then come back and apologise. Lessons learned, everybody is happy, and we all go back to writing stuff and blocking spammers. But better! But looking at the history....I'm not optimistic. Hopeful, but not optimistic.

Less ideally, people don't. I don't know what happens then. I know what I think should happen - because comments like the ones I've highlighted would get a newer user politely escorted away from project-space. Doubling down would get them firmly ejected. Tripling down would get them a short vacation. When an admin makes them? To a fellow admin? And let alone that, to some of the nicest admins/former admins I've ever met, being their typical polite selves? It's scary.

User:Barkeep49/Friends don't let friends get sanctioned is a good essay. I try and get all my on-Wiki friends to promise to yell I me when I say silly stuff. And I know I give them plenty of opportunities to practise doing that. So far, they all have. Even my on-Wiki acquaintances have permission to yell at me. And if I end up ever making an enemy, the same invitation is open to them as well.
